Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting devices with transfer units suffer from waveform deterioration due to capacitance, necessitating a switch mechanism to disconnect the reference potential terminal, which complicates the circuit.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a low-pass filter between the reference potential terminal of the transfer unit and the external reference potential to reduce waveform deterioration without switching the connection state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the reference potential terminal of the transfer unit is directly connected to a reference potential, then charges can be discharged from the transfer unit, but the waveform of current flowing in the light emitting element deteriorates due to the capacitance of the transfer unit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharge discharge capabilityVSAvoidwaveform quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A low-pass filter is introduced as an intermediary component between the reference potential terminal and the external reference potential. This filter allows DC charge discharge while blocking high-frequency noise that would otherwise deteriorate the current waveform in the light emitting element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The impedance characteristics of the connection path are changed by introducing the low-pass filter, which has high impedance at high frequencies and low impedance at DC. This parameter change enables selective passage of DC signals while blocking AC noise, resolving the contradiction between charge discharge and waveform quality.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If a switch mechanism is provided to disconnect the reference potential terminal during light emission, then waveform deterioration can be reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaveform qualityVSAvoidcircuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of using a switch mechanism, a low-pass filter serves as a passive intermediary that automatically provides the desired waveform protection without requiring active control or additional switching components, thereby avoiding increased device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The low-pass filter automatically performs the waveform protection function based on its inherent frequency-selective characteristics, without requiring external control signals or switching operations. The filter self-regulates the signal transmission based on frequency content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
